I was wondering if anyone has had experience hauling a small 4x4 (Not a quad) like a Samurai or a Tracker in a toy hauler. Any unusual issues with the weight or handling on the road, etc.

One can anticipate events, but someone who's doing it knows for sure!

3 things to keep in mind, no mater what someone says.

1. What is the max weight the toy hauler can carry? (gear,food, water,fuel in tanks included)

2. What is the max weight the ramp can handle?

3. The big one, what can your tow vehicle tow?

Be absolutely sure of what the car weighs with gas and all the fluids in it.

These all can make the camper or truck handle badly, something else to think of if its not a convertible, can you get out when inside?

We are thinking about a street-legal dune buggy or a Suzuki Samurai. The Cyclone is rated for 2500# in the garage, and both of these are well under that. I am a former trucker, so I know how to secure a load. Thanks for the input tho. You see so many vehicles not only overloaded but unbalanced as well.
